Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

One of the reasons this turned out to be a decent facility is that it received a favorable inspection score. In this area, we gave this facility a B+. Our inspection scores are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also awarded this nursing home a decent grade in the category of long-term care, with a grade of C. Our long-term care grade is commonly used to grade a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a skilled nursing facility. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we looked at is short-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a D in this area. Our short-term care ratings are vital for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
